Presence

German forests during autumn. Autumn colors in Germany.

Mankind and nature have never coexisted in balance. Yet we urge to tame the earth and call it our world. Presence explores the illusion of the relationship with human and nature, and the traces we leave behind us. The series questions our right and reasons to possess these lands. But as Jim Carrey said it once: “It is not an existential crisis but a discovery.” The photographs are a portrayal of the smallness and meaninglessness of people through manmade structures in nature, while also being an ode to adventures. Life is perhaps the most beautiful thing existing if you don’t get too attached to it. On-going series since 2014.
